...Congress, to break a negotiations impasse over featherbedding, enacted the first peacetime compulsory-arbitration law. The arbitration board subsequently approved the elimination from yard and freight crews of nine out of every ten firemen jobs. At least 18,000 jobs have since vanished. Reacting promptly to the walkout, Federal District Judge Alexander Holtzoff held that the union had failed to properly mediate its demands and ordered the strikers back to work. Instead of complying, Gilbert said that he would call off the pickets only if management promised to bring neither damage nor contempt suits. Holtzoff held the brotherhood in contempt...
...several Democratic dark horses, the brightest is Representative Samuel Stratton, 49, an aggressive campaigner who has repeatedly beaten the G.O.P. in a traditionally Republican district, and would likely give Rockefeller the toughest race.

The three-judge court upheld a 1964 Federal Power Commission decision licensing Pacific Northwest Power Co., a consortium of four private power firms, to build a $257 million, 670-ft.-high dam and a generating plant at Mountain Sheep, in the middle reaches of the Snake River astride the Oregon-Idaho border. The court unanimously rejected the challenge of the Washington Public Power Supply System, a group of 16 public utilities, which...
...latest outburst of the JarmanHoving feud came last week, and it concerned control of Julius Garfinckel & Co., which runs not only the District of Columbia's highest quality fashion store, but also, as a subsidiary, Manhattan's famed Brooks Brothers. For at least six years, Hoving has tried, and failed, to take over Garfinckel & Co. Jarman recently made a tender offer of $43.50 per share for 575,000 of Gar-finckel's 1,075,000 outstanding shares. At a press conference, Jarman said that Garfinckel's was a "pretty sleepy" company, which had neglected its opportunities...
